\nReceived: 1,184 votes.<\/span>

\n 
\nLlandaff City Church in Wales Primary School library<\/a><\/b>, Llandaff – up to \u00a35,000.<\/span>
\nReceived: 3,883 votes.<\/span>

\n“If we win this grant for our library we could turn it into an inviting and inspiring place to visit and study. We await the results with great anticipation.”
\n 
\nNew kitchen for Rumney Scouts<\/b><\/a>, Rumney\u00a0– up to \u00a35,000.<\/span>
\nReceived: 1,431 votes.<\/span>
